Whether it’s with your boo or your (very small, COVID-safe) crew, Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to act and feel mushy with the people you love. Maybe you want to put on those rose-colored glasses and feel like the world is full of love and rainbows. Or maybe you just want to cry alone into a pint of Häagen-Dazs that technically isn’t a single serving but will absolutely be finished in one sitting. Totally up to you.
Fortunately, Netflix has something for all your Valentine’s Day streaming needs…whatever those may be. We’ve compiled 25 of the sweetest, sappiest movies that’ll have you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. And maybe make you whip out that box (er, boxes) of tissues.

Someone Great
Stream It
This whirlwind of a love-story-turned-breakup film (and about finding yourself after a painful breakup) is best watched with a group of girlfriends. And wine. Lots of wine. Oh, and grab some tissues while you’re at it.
Her
Stream It
Okay, we know the premise is a little weird: An introvert finds himself falling in love with an artificial entity named Samantha (à la Amazon’s Alexa). But this movie will one hundred percent send you on an emotional roller coaster. Honestly, who knew you’d be shipping a human-robot romance at some point in your life?
Always Be My Maybe
Stream It
There’s nothing better than a good, lighthearted reunion flick. Centered on two former flames who meet again 15 years later, it’s a great way to reflect on how people change over time and if you can deny an obvious connection. Spoiler: You can’t. Also, Keanu Reeves shows up, so you know it’ll be worth it.
About Time
Stream It
Sprinkle some science fiction into your typical rom-com and you get this sweet gem about a destined love, many regrets, and, of course, time travel. Honestly, who wouldn’t want the opportunity to travel back in time and clean up your messes? Turns out, not everything can be fixed (cue the drama).
Ibiza: Love Drunk
Stream It
You know when you watch a movie on a wine night with your friends but everyone’s talking over it and you’re sad that you’re missing what is probably a very good film? Well…Ibiza is the solution to that problem. It’s definitely funny, but it doesn’t require your full attention.

Based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, Gerald’s Game stars Bruce Greenwood and Carla Gugino as married folk who try to spruce things up in vacation boudoir—only to have things go wrong almost immediately. There’s a dog in this one too, but let’s just say this four-legged creature is not man’s best friend.
